Advance in Structural Battery Technology: Integrating Lithium Titanate to Overcome Limitation of Graphite in Carbon Fabric Composite Structural Batteries

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 8022-8034, 10 May 2026.
Schematic of manufacturing carbon fabric composite structural batteries. ABSTRACT Structural batteries based on woven carbon fabrics are typically established on lithium ion phosphate (LFP) and graphite. While this method proved viable from the manufacturing perspective, the resulting structural batteries exhibited suboptimal electrochemical ...

MXene‐Coated 3D Printed Horn Antennas for Ku Frequency Band

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
An additive manufacturing approach to 3D printing horn antennas and coating them with Ti3C2Tx MXene is proposed. Rapid fabrication of lightweight, high‐performance antennas operating in the Ku‐band (12.4–18 GHz) has been demonstrated. The MXene‐coated antennas exhibit comparable electromagnetic performance to conventional, costly aluminum ones, with ...

Power Hotspots in Space: Powering CubeSats via Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Power Transfer

open access: yes, 2021
We present the concept of power HotSpots wherein the bigger satellites in low earth orbits (LEO), having power generation capacity much larger than CubeSats, can transfer their excess energy to CubeSats in need, using optical wireless technology.

CubeSat attitude determination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
When satellites are placed in orbit, often times a specific orientation is required to achieve mission purposes. Different factors (such as atmospheric drag, magnetic fields, solar winds) or tumbling upon deployment from the launch vehicle, may result in an undesirable satellite orientation.
